that is really sad, but people really shouldn't be taking selfies whilst riding. should be common sense those poor kids

Looks like it was a bicycle rather than a motorcycle but still, absolutely tragic. I don't think too much should be made of the fact she was taking a selfie, although it was a bit reckless it's somewhat understandable taking into account she was on the way back from the pub, probably had a couple of drinks, had just had a nice night, felt on top of the world, wanted to capture the moment and made a two second decision that sadly cost her her life. The focus should be more on the fact that she wasn't wearing a helmet, like her husband said. Absolutely feel for her family though, it must be so tough losing someone especially in those sorts of circumstances where it could've easily have been prevented.

yer it's really sad but helmets are worn for a reason. esp when you've just been to the PUB.

This is more of a freak accident to me tbh. I doubt she was going at like 30mph. Just landed in an extremely unfortunate manner. You can still break your neck or something even if you wear a helmet. I am in no way saying helmets are unnecessary because they aren't but rare things like this blowing into something they aren't is so damn annoying.
